He came round my house earlier to fit some crash bungs to his GSXR600, so the bike goes up on the paddock stand and we get away fitting some of R&G's finest, when I notice the oil window on his bike, was not actually showing any oil Whistle

For the second bike running, he's ridden it for miles with no oil in it Laughing

He's lucky he didn't damage the engine.

That reminds me I haven't checked the GS's oil level for a few weeks Confused

I find its lighter that way without all that heavy oil in. I'll learn by the time I have the seventh bike I'm sure ............. well maybe not

Well the rear end is slightly higher hence the back wheel being off the ground Question

I don't know, every time my mate/garage have ever filled my bike up with oil etc it's been on a paddock stand, never really thought that it'd make the reading wrong.

Hustler, please go check your bike Shocked

might have to drain some out Mad

Best way to check oil on a bike with no centre stand is to get someone to hold the bike up for you while someone else checks it Smile

I just hold the bike up on it's side and take a look.

Yep its all oily and ok (withing F - E markings when level). *Makes mental note to check the window more often.*

Haha you fools. Wink

I did think about the paddock stand issue, but then i though, no surely they could not have made that mistake Laughing

Glad it ok

Claud 14.7 to 1 · World Chat Champion Joined: 06 May 2004 Karma :

Lol is it over-filled now, then?

Ok sorry Yams, Hustler.

Sparks! · Sir Tart-a-lot Joined: 30 Aug 2003 Karma :

No idea, it wasn't to the full on the paddock stand anyway, and Hustler has checked it on level ground a minute ago and said that the level is a-okay.. so it's fine Smile

Cool, yeah i remember from my lessons. It's "bike upright on flat level ground. Look at viewing glass", and all that...

Yeah the oil must have been drawn foreward when the bike was on the stand, giving you a false reading...

Alls well that ends well, i suppose. Razz

You will get a false reading on the paddock stand, unless you put it on a front stand too. Just lift it of the sidestand to check, make sure its perfectly upright.
